As smooth and unpretentious as the easy-drinking Lone Star Beer brewed in their home state of Texas, heavy Southern rock trio Dixie Witch have undergone some considerable changes over the course of their 12-year run. It's astonishing to think it's been five years since their stellar third album, Smoke and Mirrors, was released and even more so to imagine the three-piece without guitarist Clayton Mills, who left in 2009. On Dixie Witch's fourth album, Let it Roll, dreadlocked guitarist Joshua "JT" Todd Smith makes his debut alongside founding drummer/vocalist Trinidad Leal and bassist/vocalist Curt "CC" Christensen, and as much as Mills' tone, classic rock soloing and ability to lock in a groove with Leal and Christensen was a huge part of what made Dixie Witch the rock and roll powerhouse they were, the band hasn't missed a beat. Smith rips through leads and lacks nothing in tonal heft, and Dixie Witch's latest brims with the energy that has always been so prevalent in their sound.
